GLOBAL REPORT ON ARTICLE 19: THE RIGHT TO LIVE AND BE INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY<br />

91<br />

Figure 5: Employment for adults with disability. Country<br />

Profiles survey<br />

Among those who are<br />

working, people with<br />

intellectual disabilities<br />

are most often<br />

employed in sheltered<br />

workshops or doing<br />

volunteer work.<br />

Figure 6: Policies or legislation to promote employment on<br />

people with disabilities. Country Profiles survey<br />

While many high and<br />

some low income<br />

countries reported that<br />

there is legislation or<br />

policy that promote the<br />

employment of people<br />

with disabilities,<br />

respondents<br />

commented that those<br />

policies have been<br />

ineffective and poorly<br />

implemented. Where<br />

there has been some<br />

employment progress it<br />

usually is for people<br />

with mild physical<br />

disabilities e.g. a person<br />

with low vision.
